I've got a lot of work on right now. Some really nice and varied projects but I can't tell you about them just yet! So here is a little bit of self promo work I snuck in yesterday. I like playing around with texture, colour (and limited colour palettes) and pattern. I want to incorporate this more into my work. I like the nice bold graphic feel here and would definitely like to develop this more.
100 day project still in progress

#100 day project-I'm doing it so far
There is an online creative challenge called the 100 day project and I've decided to go with it and see where it take me. I'm not sure if I will be able to keep it up but it will be fun trying! See results on my Instagram account.
Bear with scarf
Had some time to doodle a bit and trying out some different styles.
Butterflies, Bees and Ladybirds
More fun pattern making. Who wouldn't want a pair of pyjamas or a note book with these cute characters on?
Kitty cats
Doodling while in between work.
Rabbit
A fine little rabbit!
Piggy
Been a little quiet on here because work has been pretty hectic. Have a bit more time to do some self initiated work which is always nice. So here is a little farmer pig!
Polar pals
Doodling between feedback from clients.
Sleepy little tiger
Playing around with some more textural illustration style.
Blue autumn
So autumn has arrived and I've been inspired to do a couple of patterns. This one I like in blue even though it's not traditionally an autumn colour.

Butterflies
I've been ticking along with some nice jobs over the past few weeks but had a little time to do a new pattern design using butterflies as inspiration.
Sharks
Still doing the July challenge! Was sharks the other day. I love anything to do with the sea.
Kitty Cat
Trying out a bit of a different style-adding in some texture. What do you think?
July challenge
I'm taking part in the July doodle a day challenge. Here are the 1st 4 images for: stars, desert, fireworks and red, white and blue. I'd love it if you could follow along my July journey. I'll be posting on my instagram account.

Rainy days
It's a typical scottish summer here-rain cold,dull and dark. Inspired me to do a cheery rainy pattern!
Work wise things are moving nicely. Just finished 4 activity books plus 4 other baby books for an Australian publishers and I am now working on characters for shortbread tins! So nice to have such a variety of work
Hawksbill turtle
Inspired to do a hawksbill turtle!

Busy busy bee!
I've got a load of work on right now and the weather has taken a turn for the better here! Discipline required to keep indoors!
This is a little cactus pattern I designed inspired by a recent trip to Lanzarote.
worms!
I had worms in my head this morning when I woke up....that's the life of an illustrator for you!
